Chapter 138: Comfort Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After his departure, Nan Zhi did not see Mu Sihan for two days straight.

Everytime she returned to the manor, she was on tenterhooks. It was akin to creeping around a war zone full of landmines, she never knew when he would appear and explode. Especially in the evenings, her nights were fitful and restless and her dreams would evade her.

She was afraid that the man she had annoyed would strangle her to death.

Was she lucky or unlucky, being liked by a bad tempered man?

Xiaojie seemed to like him very much. He had asked Nan Zhi about him a few times after not seeing him the past few days.

This evening, Nan Zhi had made dinner and both mother and child sat down at the dining table to eat after Xiaojie had his routinely check-up.

Junyuan had told her the day before that the person whose bone marrow was suitable for Xiaojie had returned.

Nan Zhi wanted to meet that person, but Junyuan said that the person had just returned and was busy, so would not be able to meet with her yet.

No matter what, it was a good thing for them to have found a suitable bone marrow for Xiaojie.

When she finally met that person, she would be very grateful.

After having a sip of the soup, Xiaojie cocked his head and asked, “Pretty Zhizhi, Uncle Cool hasn’t come to see Brother Jie for the past few days. Is he mad at you?”

Nan Zhi thought of his angry expression that day and absentmindedly hummed in agreement.

“He’s really angry with you? Was it because I told him you received a diamond ring from an uncle?” Xiaojie stuck out a petulant tongue.

Nan Zhi froze. She rapped him on the head with her chopsticks after realizing that the secret diamond ring was leaked out by this boy. “You’re on the same front with him in playing with your Mommy, aren’t you?”

Xiaojie put down his spoon and put his small face in his hands, his black eyes looking at Nan Zhi unblinkingly. “I think Uncle Cool is not bad. Pretty Zhizhi, if you are looking for a boyfriend, I want it to be Uncle Cool.”

Nan Zhi was surprised.

She did not think that in such a short time, that bad tempered man could captivate her son to the point that her little darling was speaking in his defence!

When she was abroad, she had many pursuers but the little fellow did not approve of any of them. In his eyes they were all wild men.

“What spell has he cast on you?” Nan Zhi mused thoughtfully, she had not thought of looking for a boyfriend and besides, the relationship she had with Mu Sihan was purely contractual. She did not want to think about any deeper feelings.

After being used by her father, in addition to Bo Shaoxiu’s betrayal, made her psychologically reject men. She always felt that they had ulterior motives in getting close to her.

For example, Mu Sihan. What kind of woman had he not seen before, being at the top of the food chain? Him being interested in her must be something on the spur of the moment. If she did not know her place and fell into his hands, the only person who would get hurt in the end would be her.

What’s more, she wanted to get back the broadcasting station and everything that belonged to her and her mother. What right did she have to fall in love? Love was not something she needed from a man.

Nan Zhi touched Xiaojie’s face and smiled gently. “Darling, it’s enough that Mommy has you.” No man could be compared to her little darling.

Xiaojie smiled brightly and sighed. “It’s my fault for being too handsome that Pretty Zhizhi is not interested in other wild men.”

“Yes, yes. It’s all Xiaojie’s fault for being too charming that I’m head over heels for him!”

Xiaojie blinked in apparent realization. “So, Uncle Cool’s rival is not the wild man who gave the diamond ring, but is Brother Jie.”

Nan Zhi said nothing and smiled.

…

After dinner, both mother and son went for a walk. Soon after, Xiaojie entered the playroom while Nan Zhi was called to the main building by Yi Fan.

“Young Master was busy with work these past few days and did not eat anything when he came back at night. You can bring this up to him.”

Yi Fan handed a tray to Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi had not spoken to Mu Sihan for a few days and she was suddenly a little afraid. “Butler Yi, I think he doesn’t want to see me.”

“I know you two had a fight, but Young Master’s temper comes and goes quickly, so go up there and comfort him!”

Nan Zhi was speechless.
